Here are my questions that come to mind.

1. How much was it and how long did you get?

2. I assume since you don't speak Japanese, the phone operator over there spoke it or did you email them?

3. Are the listed services that they have there legit? I saw some things that I like to do but wasn't too sure if it's BS or not. I saw DFK, rimming and cum swallowing.

1. You should go back to my detailed reports to see what I paid, but the prices listed on the shops' websites in the "System" section are accurate. I probably paid an extra Y2,000 each time as a nomination fee, which is listed on the site but hard to read because they show a lot of the price info as a graphic (as opposed to text) so it doesn't get translated by Google.

2. The phone operator speaks minimal English but it was enough to accurately complete the booking each time. It helps a lot for you to speak very slowly and clearly and be patient -- they might put you on hold a few times during the conversation.

3. The services were all legit in my case, but I didn't request anything exotic. If you click on the "System" section and scroll down past the box with the basic prices, you'll see the standard services under "PLAY INFO" -- but again this box shows up as a graphic so Google Translate doesn't help, at least on my PC. Below that is the "OPTION" list, these are the extra services that might be available for an extra charge. Not all girls offer all the services, so it really depends on the specific girl. If you click on the individual girls' profiles, the specific services they each offer DOES translate. So you'll see that DFK is a standard service that every girl offers. Rimming is a standard service but few girls seem to offer it, based on a handful of random profiles I just looked at. Cum swallowing is an option you would have to pay extra for, but it looks like very few girls offer it. In order to get that, you would have to find a girl who offers it, is available when you want to make the reservation, and sees foreigners. Not impossible, but it would take some research and luck. If you care more about getting those services than about picking a specific girl, you could call the shop and tell the operator what you want and he can let you know if any of the available girls provide those services.

Just guessing, but of those three shops your best bet at getting all that is probably with the http://erouto-style.net/. I noticed a couple girls who provide the cum swallowing option when I clicked on a few random profiles, as opposed to zero who provide it when I clicked on a few random OL Style and JK Style profiles.

Another option is http://hitoduma-style.net/pc/home/ -- the is the MILF style shop run by the same company. I didn't try it, but it looks like more of those ladies provide the options you're looking for than the younger girls.

In any case, if you want an option that costs extra you should make sure the operator knows it so he can give you an accurate price and, more important, so the girl knows that you want and paid for that service. Again, I didn't request any extra options when I used these shops, but I don't doubt that they would deliver on any extras you paid for. I wasn't refused any standard service by any girl at any shop I used, not just these three.

My Tokyo reports were pretty comprehensive and dense, so here is the TL; DR version with links. These are all shops from which I got service as a well-groomed middle-aged Caucasian American with zero Japanese language skills back in October / November. One thing I didn't mention in my reports is that I used the Skype app with a local Japanese phone number to communicate with the shops. It made everything very easy.

http://www.aixin.co.jp/index.html 24/7 massage place in Shibuya, pretty Chinese therapists. An extra Y5,000 should get you friendly service at the end of your massage. Would repeat.

http://www.garden-gal.com/top/ Hotel health shop in Shibuya. Phone reservations taken if you speak Japanese, but I just went in and picked from the available girls. Would repeat.

http://ebisu-ny.eroticguide.tokyo/ Fashion health shop in Ebisu. Fake or hugely photoshopped photo, girl so-so looks, but very good service. Recommended as a budget option if you want to try a very easy to use incall health shop and / or you want fun close to the Ebisu JR station. Probably not a repeat for me..

My friend got rejected by http://www.garden-gal.com because he wasn't Japanese.

I think I am too new to PM you so I guess I have to post it here until I can PM. I'm not new to the game and have been to Japan once. I have used Asianmystique when I went there because I didn't know what to do or where to go. I didn't like the girl that I picked and wanted to try something new here. A few of your links intrigued me so I wanted to see what your thoughts on them are. The three come to mind are the sister websites.

http://www.ol-style.tv/ Delivery health shop specializing in Office Lady cosplay. Phone operator helped book a love hotel in Kabukicho, great service from the girl. Would repeat.

http://www.jk-style.tv/ Schoolgirl themed delivery health, same parent company as OL Style. Great service, would repeat.

http://erouto-style.net/ Horny amatuer themes delivery health, same parent company as OL Style and JK Style. Great service from hot girl, would repeat.

BEWARE- The Japanese sex industry isn't foreigner friendly. There are a few tried and "safe" options ion Tokyo. JanJan, Hinamaru and Dio. There are probably some other places, but BEWARE of anything that sounds like you get a smoking hot sexy young girl. It is probably a scam and you will lose a lot of money... Screwing around with phone numbers and trusting the voice at the other end is a bad idea.... Someone will undoubably post and say my comment is nonsense. Stay with places that have been reviewed several times over the YEARS. Japan doesn't have very many mugging, but extortion, fraud and various scams are rampant.

LOL, wut? Um, maybe something has been lost in translation going in both directions. My reports and links to the individual shops weren't things I pulled off of other boards or out of my ass; those were my own experiences in Japan approximately three months ago. If you're suggesting that I posted anything dishonest or that I'm trying to lead anyone into a scam, then yes, your comment is nonsense, but I don't know if that's what you really mean.

I have been to JanJan on previous trips. Y3,000 for a BBBJCIM has got to be the best bargain in Japan, and not just in the sex industry. It's great for what it is. But I really prefer being in a private room with a sexy Japanese girl and enjoying the full health service menu, even if it costs me 10 X what a trip to JanJan costs. If you read my reports, I had some variation of that experience many times in many different scenarios (delivery health, hotel health, fashion health, soapland, Shinchi, massage), some better than others, in several different cities. And I didn't even use some of the most foreigner friendly shops, such as Tokyo Hentai Club, Lovely Hand, Erotic Escort Club, Asian Mystique, etc.

This is 2019, not 1999 -- the idea that foreigners need to restrict themselves to a handful of places is absurd. I didn't, and that's why I had a fantastic time in Japan. Even the disappointing experiences ended in orgasms! Huge portions of the sex industry in Japan are still closed off to foreigners, but the situation has improved noticeably since my first trip there almost five years ago and the trend is pointing towards even more improvement. I can't wait to go back!

Man nabbed in porn star bait-and-switch scam in Ikebukuro.

By Tokyo Reporter Staff on January 15,2019.

TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested a 24-year-old male employee of a sex business who falsely promised customers adult video (AV) actresses were available as prostitutes, reports Nippon News Network (Jan. 15).

In January of last year, Kazuma Nakai, an employee at a fuzoku establishment, worked with accomplices on a road near JR Ikebukuro Station in swindling a man out of 650,000 yen in cash by luring him with the false promise that a woman who appeared in AV productions was available.

In carrying out the ruse, Nakai posed as the head of a talent agency for AV actresses. He then falsely told the victim that a fee was necessary to guarantee the appearance of an actress.

During questioning, Nakai said that he wanted to speak with a lawyer.

Police are aware of about 80 similar cases that took place in the Ikebukuro area in which the amount swindled from the victims totaled 67 million yen.

And another observation. You can get robbed by a Chinese prostitute in your own country. Why meet one in a foreign country where you don't speak the language? Play it safe and stick to the shops that have been reviewed for years on this site and rocket reports. Just think of the trouble you would have if the girl took your wallet AND your pants.

In Osaka there is the Tobita prostitution area. The best looking girls don't touch foreigners. You can get a nice looking girl there and it is safe. You won't get scammed or tricked. The same goes for Matsuyamachi. Screwing around with phone numbers and trusting the voice at the other end is a bad idea.

Local phone number required to book, however.

So I was in Tokyo for a few days and had a very enjoyable visit to Jan Jan. As I was walking downstairs a fellow mongerer was exiting. He sighed and said "try the skinny one. " And boy was she ever good. Thanks for the tip. She said her name was RINA, and she was just amazing. This lady sucks a mean dick is all I can say. She deep-throated me and kept on sucking until I had completely emptied myself in her mouth. Rina has a nice body too with perfectly shaped small breasts. The only thing about Jan Jan is that they kind of rush you. But the usherer let me know I only had a few minute left and Rina finished me off nicely.

This was my fourth visit to Jan since last year and I am never disappointed. I have yet to try Hinomaru but I doubt you can get better value for your money. Definitely to be recommended for all those mongerers out there who are on a modest budget like I. I'the love to try a soapy but the price is prohibitive from what I hear.

Cheers and happy mondering.

On my last full day in Japan I ended up in the Ueno area afte some cultural activities. I was due to meet up with a friend for a farewell dinner but at this point I wasn't sure if it would be an early or late meetup, so I was stalling out. Since I was only one stop away from Uguisudani, I hopped on the JR and took a walk around the love hotel district while I waited to hear from my friend. I figured that if I heard it would be a late dinner and I had enough time then I would grab a love hotel room and book a girl from Hipness, which is a Delivery Health service specializing in Thai / Pinay / etc girls for a very low price. I used them once before on a previous trip. Extra good times were had. http://www.hipness.jp/p_index.shtml.

While I was walking close to the station I was approached by a 40-something Japanese woman. For a second I thought she was trying to ask me for directions or something, though that wouldn't make any sense. Using Google translate (provided by me) she invited me to join her at a love hotel and quoted me the price of Y10,000. You never know what you're going to find in Uguisudani! Almost three months later I can't remember any details of what she looked like, but she was attractive enough that I almost did it just for the adventure of it. But I was still waiting to hear from my friend and also had some last-minute errands to I wanted to run, so I told her I didn't think I had enough time but that I would look for her if that changed. I know nothing came of this, but I'm sharing this story in case some adventurous types want to check out the area. There's always Hipness as a fallback (though you need a local phone number to use them) or one of the gazillion Korean Deli places there.

Fast forward a few hours after my dinner and I was back at my hotel near Kabukicho and ready for my last fun of the trip. One of the things I wanted to try was a so-called Luxury Delivery Health service, of which there are many to choose from. I chose Zeitaku na Hitoki based on a good review I read. Spoiler alert: I wish I hadn't! I called the shop and reserved a girl (I picked badly) and told them which love hotel I wanted to use. Then I went and booked a room and called back with the room number. After a short wait, the doorbell rang and I greeted a male staff member, as their site said was their procedure. I paid him the fee and he left. Deep in the recesses of my brain my spider sense finally tingled and I wondered if I'd just made a mistake. But he was already gone and then the girl appeared. She was quite a bit larger than I'd expected. She did have big breasts, but not on a small frame. She wasn't ugly or anything, just. Not hot and definitely not what you'd expect using a so-called luxury escort service. I felt like a serious idiot.

Even though I was immediately feeling ripped off, here was the girl. I didn't think there was a chance in hell I was getting my money back, so I decided to go through with it. The girl herself was very nice, sweet, friendly, and enthusiastic in everything we did, both the erotic fun and conversation. So, the experience itself was fine, it was fun to play with her big knockers, and she did give a very good BBBJCIM. She just wasn't nearly hot enough for the price -- sorry to be crass that way, but that's kind of the deal in this game. No doubt the shop management feels the exact same way, hence their collection of the fee before I saw her. Lesson learned!

I can't find the girl's profile on their site now but I do recall looking at it later that night when I got back to my hotel. In retrospect, I chose someone whose pictures were kind of strategically masking her body type and her listed weight was a couple kilos heavier than many of the other girls. It was still probably not accurate, but I could have chosen better. Given all the great experiences I had during my three weeks in Japan, I can't really complain too much about one being a semi-ripoff, it just happened to be the last one I had. I would be very curious to hear if anyone has had a different / better experience with this shop. Y35,000 + Y3,900 for the hotel for a total of Y38,900. Ouch! But it was a really good BBBJCIM, did I mention that? Not a repeat candidate for me.

After leaving to explore some other cities- Osaka, Fukuoka, and Kyoto- I got back to Tokyo in early November. My first night back was squandered (strictly from a hobbying perspective) when I stayed out too late and drank too much with a local friend. I even missed the last train. Fun times.

The next night I got back into the swing of things. My hotel was fairly close to Kabukicho and there were more delivery health shops on my to-do list, so I went with one of those. After enjoying OL Style during my previous stint in Tokyo, I went with a sister shop, JK Style. I called them up, told them which girl I wanted to see, and asked for help in booking a love hotel. The PIN they had given me after I used OL Style was also valid with JK Style, so they knew I was a repeating customer. It wasn't easy for him to find a room, it was a busy weekend night, but eventually the phone guy told me to go to Hotel Bali An and call him back with the room number, which I did. Odd place, the lobby is more like a regular hotel than a love hotel, but I guess they go both ways.

A few minutes later, the girl, Saaya, showed up. The theme of JK Style is schoolgirls; Saaya arrive in street clothes but looked very much like a cute teen girl you feel guilty checking out on the street or subway. She also had a sassy attitude, which I enjoyed. After the shower she put on her schoolgirl outfit and very much looked the part. I had a great time with her. We didn't do anything beyond the regular scope of activities offered by a deliheru, but I wouldn't be shocked to find out that she might not be totally averse to going a little beyond that scope with the proper incentive. I might test that theory the next time I'm in Tokyo. Anyway, we enjoyed a nice long session and left together. When we got to the street there was a group of dudes who saw the two of us exit the hotel holding hands and they all whooped and gave me a round of applause.

Y29,000 + Y6, 800 for the room for Y35,800 total. Would repeat. Later I looked at the card she gave me -- on the back she simply wrote "I love you. " Very cute -- I bet she'd do the same for you.

http://www.jk-style.tv/

The next night I repeated with the Style Group but this time with the Amateur Style shop. Very similar format, just no particular cosplay theme but supposedly the girls are more erotic. Anyway, I phoned in gave them my PIN and requested Rinka. The guy told me that she wasn't available for foreigners, but then put me on hold for a while and came back and said it was okay. Maybe that was because I already had a good track record from using the two sister shops, who knows. Anyway, I made my way to the love hotel and called him back with the room number and Rinka arrived a few minutes later.

I was very happy with my choice. She looked hot and had a great body. I can't recall for sure, but I think she told me I was the first foreigner she'd been with. Anyway, she didn't seem nervous or shy or anything, so I very much enjoyed my time with her. We had a fair amount of time left after the erotic part and she was fun to chat with (using Google translate). I would definitely repeat with her.

Y30,000 + Y4,000 for the love hotel for Y34,000 total.

Haha so I'm not sure if anyone checked that shithole recently but the admin posted claiming they don't ban escorts / groups for petty reasons but they also don't tell anyone why they ban escorts / groups in the first place. Really good transparency there. I guess we'll never know why thc is blacklisted there.

It doesn't matter in any case. I can't really recommend any of the indies there too, the non jp ones at the very least. To make a long story short, unless you want to pay loads more money to date weebs who were considered outcasts and undesirable until they came to Japan and found success in being the only foreign girl there then so be it.

Also doesn't help they'll ghost you for literally the stupidest fucking things and claim its their right to do so arguing for pages and pages when it takes literally 2 seconds to send an email saying they're not interested. They hate people who waste their time yet they can't show any respect for potential clients who spend a lot of their own time planning dates.

Larissa I am assuming?

I got ghosted for literally asking one of their indies if a weekday or a weekend would suit them better. Seriously, and I've seen this person before and had a great time. What's worse is she's considered a big name there and its basically my word against their's which means jack shit because I'm just some random guy not from the area trying to plan things out in advance.

Sorry for posting about this here. It seems like this is the only place I can criticize them.

Hi guys,

I'm asking for a quick help and promise to write a review when back.

I'll visit Japan next week for the first time, I ll be visiting several cities for work and ll not have time to "enjoy". But at the end of the trip I ll have 2 free days to spend in Tokyo and enjoy.

Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese and I imagine as first time it is going to be pretty hard to understand the city and how to have fun so that s why I am asking for your help.

1) I need to book one hotel, I am looking for a 5 stars hotel in a beautiful area (I wrote to Hentai Tokyo asking if girls can visit you in 5 stars hotel and they said yes, do you confirm or you would recommend to use a love hotel?

In which area would you advice me to choose hotel in order to use outcall services?

2) I was reading some of the posts here but I wish an advice on the websites to use for outcall service.

https://hentaitokyo.com is the best? All girls are real?

Have you tried this? Girls look better.

https://www.shinagawa-five.jp/en/

3) can you please let me know which the best, easiest and safest club where to go and enjoy? Or the best websites to use?

4) silly question (in all website is written that vaginal sex is forbidden. But then you can do anything less. Is it just for real or then you can do it?

Any good advice is welcome, I'll meet also a Japanese friend so ll try to discover other good places and ll write my experience when back.

Thanks!

Convenience stores to ban adult magazines ahead of Tokyo Olympics.

Today 04:01 pm JST 9 Comments.

TOKYO.

An abundance of sex-themed magazines at Japan's ubiquitous convenience stores may soon become a thing of the past, due partly to major international sports events the country will host.

Seven-Eleven Japan Co and Lawson Inc have decided to stop selling adult magazines nationwide by the end of August to improve their image ahead of the Rugby World Cup this fall and Tokyo Olympics next year.

The move by two of the country's biggest convenience store chain operators is aimed at avoiding giving a bad impression to what is expected to be a surge of foreign visitors during the events, officials said, noting that they also hope it will make it easier for women and children to visit the outlets.

At Seven-Eleven shops, numbering some 20,000 across Japan, adult magazines account for less than 1 percent of total sales, industry experts estimate.

Lawson stopped selling such magazines at outlets in Okinawa Prefecture in November 2017. Judging that the step has gained understanding from customers and franchise stores, Lawson has decided to expand the ban to its stores nationwide, totaling 14,000.

Ministop, which runs some 2,000 stores in Japan, has already shut out adult magazines, introducing the ban in late 2017.

FamilyMart Co, another major convenience store chain, has stopped selling adult magazines at 2,000 of its 16,000 stores nationwide.

Industry leader Seven-Eleven said that although decisions on whether to sell racy magazines will be left up to the manager of each franchise store, the headquarters will stop recommending their sale and has already told Tohan Corp, a major distributor of books and magazines, of the new policy.

The trend is actually the reverse of that. Ten years ago foreigners had to try to find a place to accept them. Now there are a half-dozen places meant totally for foreigners, and many more that are open to foreigners as customers. Less local punters means the businesses have to look for a bigger customer base. There's always increased immigration to Japan. Things are opening up.

Totally agree, I have been to jJpan since mid 90's, and I get much easy access than then. Best example is Yoshiwara soapland where I got a 90 min perfect service for 20 K.
